This has made it onto my “Top 10 Favorites lists. If you eat it warm the day you make it and top it with a warm caramel sauce, you’ll have Sticky Toffee Pudding . BUT if you wrap it in foil and refrigerate over night you will have a lovely dense breakfast loaf that you cannot top! Except with cream cheese of course!!

8 oz. pitted dates

1  1/4 cup boiling water

1  1/2 firmly packed brown sugar

6 tablespoons butter
